Post-build actions
==================

Upload artifacts to Windows Azure
---------------------------------

The `Upload artifacts to Windows Azure` post-build step uploads a build artifact generated by your build to Windows Azure Blob storage.

1. Select the storage account name to use from the dropdown control
2. Enter a name for the container. A new container will be created if it does not exist. Environment variables can also be referenced. For example: ${JOB_NAME} 
3. Enter the list of artifacts to upload, following the Ant glob syntax
4. Optionally, specify the common virtual pathm, under the container, that  the artifacts will be placed under. This string (followed by a slash '/' character) will be used to prefix each uploaded artifact's file name, allowing you to form a virtual directory hierarchy. Any combination of characters can be used, but reserved URL characters must be properly escaped. Environment variables can also be referenced. For example: "${BUILD_ID}/${BUILD_NUMBER}/"
